I just cook the carrots then drain when tender, throw in a dollop of butter and a teaspoon or 2 of brown sugar then saute altogether till carrots coated.Sorry - dont have anything more exciting.

jubre, carrots can be substituted in the following recipe in place of the peas.....

PEAS IN ORANGE SAUCE - always popular in our house

2-3 cups (310g-465g) frozen peas
1 tbsp sugar
1-2 tsp cornflour
½ tsp each of salt and grated orange rind
½ cup orange juice
2 tbsp butter

Cook the peas in a small amount of unsalted boiling water, then drain them well.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-proof bowl mix the sugar, cornflour, salt and orange rind. Gradually mix in the orange juice. Cook on 100% power/HIGH until thickened and just boiling, stirring every 1 minute. Add the butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reheat the sauce if necessary, then add the peas and stir through gently. Reheat again if necessary, then serve.
Note: This sauce freezes really well so it can be convenient to make twice the above recipe and freeze half of the sauce for later use.

Hope that helps.:-))

I also love roast carrots, perhaps roast and in the last 15 mins or so pour over some, melted butter, brown sugar, orange juice and turn the heat up so they caramelise.
